We offer

You will be met by 65 good colleagues in a daily life characterized by a high professional level, where we work with high ambitions on behalf of the students, energy and outlook, joy and humor.

The school is currently divided into three departments: primary, middle school and upper school. We have a strong resource team that, in cooperation with department heads, creates inclusive efforts both for individual students but also primarily at the community level.

You will become part of a leadership team with room to grow. We are ambitious on behalf of the school and have a close and trusting collaboration, where there is room to try ideas, develop, and both receive and give professional sparring. Here you can help set the direction and agenda for tomorrow’s school.

We are a school that values diverse broad communities and creates a daily life that inspires learning, the courage to contribute and room to grow. We see diversity as a strength and focus on learning from each other and especially from those who do not look like us.

We place a high value on close cooperation between teachers and the school’s pedagogues. It is a strong and well-established collaboration. We aim to be a school with strong professional standards and high well-being for both students and staff.
